'This sentence is false' - is that true? The 'Liar paradox'
embodied in those words exerted a particular fascination on the
logicians of the Western later Middle Ages, and, along with similar
'insoluble' problems, forms the subject of the first group of
articles in this volume. In the following parts Professor Spade
turns to medieval semantic theory, views on the relationship
between language and thought, and to a study of one particular
genre of disputation, that known as 'obligationes'. The focus is on
the Oxford scholastics of the first half of the 14th century, and
it is the name of William of Ockham which dominates these pages - a
thinker with whom Professor Spade finds himself in considerable
philosophical sympathy, and whose work on logic and semantic theory
has a depth and richness that have not always been sufficiently
appreciated.
